The conclusion of this thread was syscon for offset 0x0, no ?!
And if you decide to have new writel/readl functions, I'd prefer if you don't
change the order of parameters just because. That always weirds me out, when
there are vendorname_writel functions, that only change the API of writel and
nothing else (not exactly the case here).
